Cancer campaigner Vicky Phelan has called on the Government and all TDs to “allow me die with dignity” and back a new bill that would allow terminally-ill people to end their own lives.

Ms Phelan is making an impassioned plea as the Dáil is set to debate the controversial issue next week. There are increasing signs that a free vote may be granted.
